What is everyone's favourite hacking film, if any, be it 'War Games' , 'C-64 Cracks, Tools & Demos' all the way to Defcon movies like 'Hacks', just post your favourite (if any), it'll be interesing to find out wheather or not anyone actually watches any hacking films.

I wouldn't nessacarily call sneakers a hacking film. Really they are more burglars than hackers breaking into banks, corporations and stealing shit, etc. I mean there is a hacker in their group to round out thier arsenal, but that would be like calling ocean's eleven (the recent version) a hacking movie because one of the characters used was a 'hacker'.

Do we really consider any movie where people use computers to commint crimes "hacking" movies because there are so few out there we feel the need to claim anything bearing a slight resemblence as our own? To tell you the truth I couldn't find anything more boring than watching someone else "hack" for the length of a feature film.

Anyways my favorite 'hacking' movie has to be "Office Space". It's a hacker movie. They make a virus for Godsakes! A VIRUS! If that's not hacking I don't know what is....

*grin*i concur.Hackers has got to be the greatest Hackers movie of all times.its got quotes from the 'Hackers Manifesto', old-school phone phreaking off payphones and restricted lines but most importantly, as IceMyst as so RIGHTLY pointed out...

Um sin. Sneakers was about two hackers, one of which got caught because of the other. And the main plot is of that little blackbox of magic that can unencrypt anything. ANYTHING. The main guys have to first get the box, then they have to take it back to ensure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands (which in this movie is the Russian government)

the movie deals with social engineering, hacking, and all sorts of hacking related topics.

For you to say that the movie isn't a hacking movie is retarded.

Hackers. Havent seen too many others unless they are like sneakers and oceans 11/12 to answer your Q on whether some people watch hacker movies. Oh and one called STAT or something but it too was like one of the ones that had a hacker in it. I think STAT was/is what americans have instead of HSC like here and they try and steal the questions.BUT if a hacker movie came out today (and had reasonable actors/actress then I would probably watch it).

I totally forgot about Sword Fish. That movie rocked! Especially since you got to see Halle Berrys tits :p Mr and Mrs isnt out here in Auz yet but its going to be good. Anything with Jolie is good. Also I loved the story behind the Matrix. That in my definition is definitly a hacking movie just less computer based and more plugged. If that made sence.

madagascar hacking?!wtf?!its about a bunch of animated animals being deported to another country.

swordfish was redeeming in the fact that its main character was arrested initially due to the 'karnivore' program developed by the FBI(coincidently, the movie was out 2years after the leaking of the existence of karnivore to the public. The first time i had actually heard of karnivore was on the news section on UGN)

and lastly...anyone know the name of that song in Mr. and Mrs. Smith? the one played when they were dancing in the rain in the begining and at the final showdown in the end?
